I recently saw these at Walmart and think I might pick them up for an addition to the Christmas dessert table. Aside from filling them with pudding or fruit what other ideas would you have
 
Use a can of apple pie filling. Topping is butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and crushed walnuts with a pinch of salt. Grind it up and spoon on top. Bake and serve with vanilla ice cream!

I have done this and they are delicious! (but it must be chocolate ice cream for me, I don't like vanilla anything, lol)
 

I would make a cream cheese cold filling, or just make mini cheesecakes. Gives me ideas since I don't have an oven, but I have a basket air fryer that these would make great mini cheesecakes in for Thursday coming up.

Any kind of pie filling would work. Chocolate silk pie filling. Apple, cherry, strawberry, any kind of fruit.

Any pudding or custard. I love custard. Look up a recipe for creme puffs and use the filling for that, creme puff custard filling is delicious.

I swap out walnuts for oats with apple or apple pie filling desserts. Love some kind of apple baked good with vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with caramel. Delicious!
 
And, even just start w/ Icecream as the filling!

Pre-fill, pop in the freezer.
Before serving, heat up some choc sundae sauce, (or even peanut butter!), take the icecream cups out of the freezer & drizzle with the sauce.
For christmas, a sweet version would be a french vanilla icecream, a rum sauce & use some diced candied fruit (like you put in a fruitcake) as your final topping!
 
Mini key lime pies.

Mini fruit tarts (fill with some instant vanilla pudding and then top with berries and whipped cream for an easy one).

Mini smores tarts: fill with chocolate ganache (or chocolate pudding), top with mini marshmallows and stick under a broiler)

Mini cheesecakes can be made but are tough because it's too easy to overcook the cheesecake and cause it to crack and dry out

These shells are designed for tarts, so keep it simple.
